President Donald J. Trump is tracking down
a number to scare Fox viewers:
hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied
(never actually missing)
migrant children who entered the
crosshairs simply by entering the
U.S. during the Biden Administration.
Sources
- Trump's claim of 325,000 children who are 'slaves, sex slaves or dead' is misleading and misrepresents government data, according to experts cited by CBS.
- The 'missing children' figure came from a DHS report that was not about missing or lost children.
- The administration's '300,000 missing children' rescue claim is an unfounded exaggeration.
